Comment:I started with a 27.5 pill and change doctors since I move and she up the prescription to 75.50mg. They want me to take daily and I was told to take it as needed from the first prescriber doctor and keep water fluids in your body because the water pills absorb your body fluids. I experience severe cramping and shortness of breath for a moment. I then prescribe and additive pill lisinopril 10mg. I had bad cough beginning. I fear taking these chemicals but I have to follow doctors orders. I was also told that to keep yourself for going down from internal organs defects to drink a beer to help balance your kidneys against infections. It helps a whole lot. The medications do make me drowsy. I may seek another new doctor next year.Hide Full Comment

Comment:Have been on this for about 6 months as a supplement to Benicar 40/20. Fatigue was initial problem, go to bathroom about 3-4 times at night. be sure to eat soem food before taking to avoid stomach upset or diarhea -- makes a big difference; and take it in morning, not at night. Not seeing much improvement of BP which only seems to improve when I am very careful about diet and exercise which I am back doing regularly. Are other men experiencing ED with this med? ED med alwasy worked fine until started taking this medicine. Like to hear from other older men about their experience.Hide Full Comment

Comment: This medication has affected a vital organ negatively. I have never retained fluids, so it has caused more problems than should be necessary. I was on a higher dose and should have been monitored better. Now I know as the patient.

Comment: Have been taking this med for several years now and I have not made a significant improvement in my high blood pressure (hbp) condition. Having said that, I must quickly add that it does appear to be controlling my hbp in that it has not increased to a more dangerous level.
